Havfruerne » - 10. Berliner Mesterskab, sorry about the crappy quality (camera's fault, of course... and as you can tell by the eyes, it was a looong day and night).
Interesting fact, which I dare anyone to double-check and say is incorrect:
***Macnaughton's 178 meter DYN is the best newbie dive in any discipline, ever***
Newbie dive = defined as first AIDA International ranking comp, because the ranking lists are all I had to go by, but it was also his first comp at all, so if you want to throw local/non-AIDA competitions into the definition too, please go ahead. I checked all the big names on all the AIDA ranking lists to see if anyone else had scored 89 points in their first go, but none of them did... so hugely well done to Macnaughton, aside from the national record itself!
Not to put pressure on Macnaughton, it's just such a great newbie/"surprise-national-record" story. I've passed it on to the Danish edition of DIVE and maybe you UK freedivers think it's worth pitching on your side also...?
